For the record, the Hornet/Sea Hornet seat was AS.2040.
…. I can feel a thread dedicated to listing out the uses of this particular seat “family” per AS. number! LOL

This type of seat was used in many types. Even the French Fouga 🙂

Maybe Gannet then. This was my first hunch.
Not Gannet or Balliol,Piston Provost either.

Hi Flyingbird,
AS2142 is definitely the complete seat part number. Andrew Hawkins – is this a Firefly seat? For some reason, the shoulder strap parts remind me of this?

Hi David
Thanks for the help
I’ve found a small white label attached at the front under the left hand side curve of the pan.
It states. Serial number 0019 and AS2142
Does this help to narrow it do

Lovely condition seat.
This type of seat can be found in the following aircraft:
Gannet
Vampire single and two seat (non-ejecting)
Provost
Hornet
Prentice
Early Canberra instructors seat
Firefly
There are others, but I can’t think of them at present. To find out the specific a/c there should be a part number label on the front of the seat pan. This AS number is referenced in the aircraft schedule of spare parts.

…possibly a late MK Spitfire?? although I’m probably wrong.
Correct. Not Spitfire.
